DESCRIPTION:With more than 126 feature-length and short films and videos from 21 
 countries, the 24th San Francisco International Asian American Film 
 festival (SFIAAFF) kicks off on March 16, 2006 at the Castro Theatre in San 
 Francisco with Eric Byler’s AMERICANESE -- a frank, provocative tale of 
 love, sex and race in the adult world, and adaption of a novel by Shawn 
 Wong. Following the film, the festival gets off to a lively start with the 
 official Asian Art Museum/Cathay Pacific Airways Opening Night Gala at the 
 Museum, where attendees will mix and mingle with the all-star cast, which 
 includes Joan Chen, Kelly Hu, Sab Shimono, Michael Paul Chan and Chris 
 Tashima. The Festival also features a Conversation with James Shigeta, 
 Hollywood’s only Asian American male lead, and screens Deepa Mehta’s 
 WATER as the Centerpiece Presentation.   After a week of films, special 
 events, panels attended by filmmakers, film curators, and actors from all 
 around the world, the curtain closes on the Festival with JOURNEY FROM THE 
 FALL, the feature-length directorial debut from Ham Tran. This is the first 
 major American film to dramatize the traumatic aftermath of the Vietnam War 
 from a Vietnamese perspective. A Gala reception and the highly anticipated 
 Festival Awards Presentation follows at the Palace.   For more information,
